Recordações no tílburi

No tílburi em que andei uma ou duas horas, não fizera mais que recordar o tempo do seminário, as relações de Escobar, as nossas simpatias, a nossa amizade, começada, continuada, e nunca interrompida, até que um lance da fortuna fez separar para sempre duas criaturas que prometiam ficar por muito tempo unidas.

In the tilbury in which I rode for an hour or two, I had done nothing more than recall the time of the seminary, the relations of Escobar, our sympathies, our friendship, begun, continued, and never interrupted, until a stroke of fortune made two creatures that promised to remain united for a long time separate forever.
